According to the statement, "A World of Peace, Solidarity and Justice needs more Europe of Peace, Solidarity and Justice”, the European project risks to collapse and disintegrate, thus leading to worse conditions for all its citizens. The statements calls for a deeper European democracy, where sovereignty belongs to citizens aiming at an integrated and federal governance of Europe. As ALDA, we claim that local authorities and citizens, working together for the good of their communities, represent an essential pillar of the Europe that we want.

ALDA also joins the “March for Europe 2017” gathering and invites all its members and partners to be part of this big pro-European initiative. More information and opportunities for participation will be communicated soon.

The Regional Youth Compact for Europe successfully started the second year of the project activities.
